Gyro Air G-700: "Max air flow" and "Max air flow @4in hose" explained

Understanding Airflow Specifications on Dust Processors

Dust processors typically list two types of airflow ratings:

  1. Maximum (Unrestricted) Airflow
    This is the highest possible CFM the blower can generate when not connected to any hoses, filters, or ducting. It reflects performance at the inlet with no resistance.

  2. Real (Operational) CFM
    This represents the actual airflow you can expect when the unit is configured with typical components such as hoses, ducting, and filters—offering a more realistic performance benchmark.


Gyro Air G-700 Airflow Performance

  • Maximum Airflow (Blower, No Restriction): 1110 CFM

  • Real CFM (With 4" Hose, 10'–20' Length, Filters Attached): Approximately ~700 CFM or slightly higher


This operational CFM gives a more accurate expectation for real-world use, especially when evaluating the G-700’s efficiency in fine dust collection and multi-tool setups.
